Abstract

A wood working lathe includes a granite lathe bed including a guiding rail extending thereon longitudinally and an opening vertically formed through an end thereof, with the opening in communication with the guiding rail. A driving unit is installed to the lathe bed. A granite fixed stock is disposed on the end of the lathe bed relative to the opening of the lathe bed and includes a driven unit inserted therethrough axially and a compartment formed therein and in communication with the driven unit. The driving unit drives the driven unit to turn through the compartment. A granite foot stock is slidably installed on another end of the lathe bed and includes a positioned member for selectively fixing the foot stock to the lathe bed and a feeding device. An axis of the feeding device is coaxial with an axis of the driven unit, with cooperation of the driven unit and the feeding device adapted for clamping works to be turned.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1. A wood working lathe comprising:
 a lathe bed including a guiding rail extending thereon longitudinally and an opening vertically formed through an end thereof, with the opening in communication with the guiding rail, with the lathe bed being made of granite for minimizing deformation of the guiding rail during use; 
 a driving unit installed to the lathe bed; 
 a granite fixed stock disposed on the end of the lathe bed relative to the opening of the lathe bed and including a driven unit inserted therethrough axially and a compartment formed therein and in communication with the driven unit, with the driving unit driving the driven unit to turn through the compartment; 
 a granite foot stock slidably installed on another end of the lathe bed and including a positioned member for selectively fixing the foot stock to the lathe bed and a feeding device, with an axis of the feeding device being coaxial with an axis of the driven unit, with cooperation of the driven unit and the feeding device adapted for clamping works and preventing wood pellets from influencing operation of the driving unit; and 
 two base stocks installed to the two ends of the lathe bed and relative to the fixed and foot stocks, respectively, with one of the two base stocks having an opening corresponding to the opening of the lathe bed. 
 
     
     
       2. The wood working lathe as claimed in  claim 1 , with the driving unit disposed in the one of the two base stocks; wherein the driven unit includes a passive wheel relative to the compartment of the fixed stock and the driving unit includes an active wheel corresponding to the passive wheel, with the active wheel driving the passive wheel via a driven belt. 
     
     
       3. The wood working lathe as claimed in  claim 2 , with the driven unit having a main shaft inserted through the fixed stock axially, with the passive wheel mounted on the main shaft. 
     
     
       4. The wood working lathe as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the fixed stock further comprises a clamping element connected to an end of the main shaft toward the foot stock and a lathe center coupled to a distal end of the clamping element; wherein the foot stock further comprises a clamping element toward the fixed stock and a lathe center coupled to a distal end of the clamping element of the foot stock, with the lathe centers of the fixed and foot stocks provided in a straight direction parallel to the guiding rail. 
     
     
       5. A wood working lathe comprising:
 a lathe bed including a guiding rail extending thereon longitudinally and an opening vertically formed through an end thereof, with the opening in communication with the guiding rail, with the lathe bed being made of granite for minimizing deformation of the guiding rail during use; 
 a driving unit installed to the lathe bed; 
 a granite fixed stock disposed on the end of the lathe bed relative to the opening of the lathe bed and including a driven unit inserted therethrough axially and a compartment formed therein and in communication with the driven unit, with the driving unit driving the driven unit to turn through the compartment; 
 a granite foot stock slidably installed on another end of the lathe bed and including a positioned member for selectively fixing the foot stock to the lathe bed and a feeding device, with an axis of the feeding device being coaxial with an axis of the driven unit, with cooperation of the driven unit and the feeding device adapted for clamping works and preventing wood pellets from influencing operation of the driving unit, wherein the feeding device includes a threaded shaft inserted through the foot stock axially, a hand wheel grip fixed to an end of the threaded shaft opposite to the fixed stock and a tool sheath disposed in the foot stock and engaged with another end of the threaded shaft, wherein the foot stock further comprises a clamping element and a lathe center coupled to a distal end of the clamping element, with the clamping element of the foot stock connected to the threaded shaft toward the fixed stock, with the fixed stock including a clamping element toward the foot stock and a lathe center coupled to a distal end of the clamping element of the fixed stock, with the lathe centers of the fixed and foot stocks provided in a straight direction parallel to the guiding rail; and 
 a positioned element selectively abutted against the tool sheath via a limited slot formed on the tool sheath as to selectively prevent the threaded shaft and the hand wheel grip from turning relative to the tool sheath. 
 
     
     
       6. The wood working lathe as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a tool stock slidably disposed between the fixed and foot stocks for cutting the works and including a tool rest inserted thereto, with an axis of the tool rest spaced from and parallel to an axis of the lathe bed. 
     
     
       7. A wood working lathe comprising:
 a lathe bed including a guiding rail extending thereon longitudinally and an opening vertically formed through an end thereof, with the opening in communication with the guiding rail, with the lathe bed being made of granite for minimizing deformation of the guiding rail during use; 
 a driving unit installed to the lathe bed; 
 a granite fixed stock disposed on the end of the lathe bed relative to the opening of the lathe bed and including a driven unit inserted therethrough axially and a compartment formed therein and in communication with the driven unit, with the driving unit driving the driven unit to turn through the compartment; and 
 a granite foot stock slidably installed on another end of the lathe bed and including a positioned member for selectively fixing the foot stock to the lathe bed and a feeding device, with an axis of the feeding device being coaxial with an axis of the driven unit, with cooperation of the driven unit and the feeding device adapted for clamping works and preventing wood pellets from influencing operation of the driving unit, wherein the positioned member includes a positioned shaft and a lever adapted for controlling the positioned shaft to move with respect the lathe bed upward or downward, with the lever inserted through the foot stock and an end of the positioned shaft, with another end of the positioned shaft inserted into the guiding rail and engaged with a limited disk. 
 
     
     
       8. The wood working lathe as claimed in  claim 7 , further comprising a coupled portion provided on the lever, with a section of the coupled portion being oval-shaped to bias the positioned shaft to slightly move with respect to the lathe bed upward or downward.
